The Port of Cannes is always a challenge due to the tenders. Since we had a private tour, we wanted…read moreto get off our cruise boat, the Norwegian Epic, as efficiently as possible. We knew from our experience three years earlier to talk to the Latitudes Rewards concierge. This paid off as we were the first passengers off the boat that did not have a NCL shore excursion. The Port de Cannes itself is so convenient. We met Yann from Liven Up as we exited the terminal for our tour of Monaco, St. Paul de Vence and Cannes. On the way back, he dropped us off near the Red Carpet of the Cannes Film Festival. So interesting to watch as they set up for the festival that started the following day. Just an easy ten minute walk back to catch a tender to get back to the ship. The morning views from the tender were so beautiful. Nice to see all of the boats in the harbor and the beach on the walk back to the tender. A great day in the French Riviera.

Be aware of that and do not get lost trying to find Eco museum and other spots - only the fort is well marked.

This restaurant by the ocean was amazing! The waiter was super nice and friendly. He couldn't speak English but he tried very hard. At one point he event Google it for us. The food was amazing! Everything we ordered here was amazing. Especially the mussels. Best mussels I've ever had. Somehow the mussels are buttery and melt in your mouth! Love it! If you go to this island you MUST try this restaurant!

It's also possible to take a cab though the last part of the journey to reach the fort is a 10 minute walk along a gravel/dirt trail up a slight slope so you can't escape at least some walking. The fort entry is only €3, which can be purchased at the small entry ticket office. Access to the top of the fort is only available when accompanied by staff, and they shared that there was a tour starting in 20 minutes in both French and English so I decided to join. There are several rooms with exhibits on the history of the fort which are available for perusal. The take you thru the various stages of building and the various uses it's served. Appreciation to the staff member who led the tour--she had a lot of energy and passion for sharing information about Fort Carre and Port Vauban to a small group of about a dozen people in both French and English, keeping the atmosphere light by cracking a few jokes. She took us around the main areas in the fort along the top of the walls and back down--an enjoyable 30 minutes! Afterwards it's optional to walk around outside on the grounds, which I did for a bit before heading back towards Antibes. Unfortunately not wheelchair accessible given the distance from main road and the stone stairs and narrow walkways in parts of the castle. Also no bathrooms are available at the fort so take that into account when planning your trip.
